Live Cams

May 1, 2020 – Aug 30, 2021
886 Cannery Row, Monterey, CA 93940, United States

Monterey Bay Aquarium has installed 10 live cams to track the movements of its marine friends. There’s a Jelly Cam (jellyfish), Coral Reef Cam, Kelp Forest Cam, and, of course, the Shark Cam (Sevengill sharks!). Watching these creatures glide and float can be a bit of a lava lamp experince. For a more acrobatic show, try the Sea Otter or Penguin Cams! For birders who can’t get outside, tune into the Aviary Cam—shorebirds galore! —E.C.
